Brian Tooley Racing Stage 3 Camshaft

2009–2025 Chrysler / Dodge / Jeep / Ram 5.7L Hemi

BTR-57HEMIVVTSTG3

Overview:

The Brian Tooley Racing Stage 3 Camshaft is a precision-engineered performance upgrade designed specifically for the Gen III 5.7L HEMI engines found in Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles from 2009 through 2025. Crafted in-house with a focus on balancing aggressive power gains and engine stability, this camshaft is ideal for enthusiasts seeking a substantial horsepower increase without sacrificing drivability.

Extensively tested on spintron and dyno equipment, the Stage 3 camshaft delivers proven durability and performance enhancements. It is perfectly suited for drivers who demand more from their 5.7L HEMI, whether on the street or the track, offering a significant power boost while maintaining smooth operation across a broad RPM range.

Key Features:

Designed to maximize the potential of your 5.7L HEMI engine, the Stage 3 camshaft includes the following key features:

• Engineered for Gen III 5.7L HEMI engines from 2009 to 2025
• Provides over 500 horsepower at the crank when paired with proper supporting modifications
• Extends usable RPM range by approximately 1600 RPM for enhanced high-end power
• Intake duration at .050” lift: 220 degrees; Exhaust duration at .050” lift: 23X degrees
• Lobe separation angle of 112 degrees for balanced performance and drivability
• Intake valve lift of .587” and exhaust valve lift of .586” for improved airflow
• Includes required VVT limiter (BTR-VVT-HEMI-4CAM) to ensure proper variable valve timing control
• Recommended valve springs and lifters specified for optimal operation and longevity
• Designed to maintain drivability with a moderate camshaft rumble (chop scale 5/10)

Construction & Design:

The Stage 3 camshaft is meticulously crafted in the USA using high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing techniques. Brian Tooley Racing engineers develop the cam lobes with precision to optimize valve timing and lift, ensuring a perfect balance between aggressive performance and engine reliability. The camshaft is designed to work seamlessly with the factory variable valve timing system, requiring the included VVT limiter to maintain proper phaser function and prevent mechanical issues.

Due to the increased valve lift and RPM potential, the camshaft installation requires upgraded valve springs and non-MDS lifters to handle the additional stress. The design also recommends hardened pushrods for applications involving power adders, ensuring durability under demanding conditions.

Performance & Sound

On the dyno, the Stage 3 camshaft delivers impressive gains over the factory camshaft, with peak increases of 82 horsepower and 71 lb-ft of torque observed at 6000 RPM. The camshaft maintains strong power delivery beyond 7000 RPM, making it ideal for enthusiasts who enjoy high-revving performance. The camshaft produces a noticeable but controlled camshaft rumble, enhancing the aggressive sound profile without compromising daily drivability.

For optimal performance, pairing the camshaft with an aftermarket torque converter is recommended to fully exploit the extended RPM range and power gains.

Installation & Fitment:

This camshaft is a direct fit for the following vehicles equipped with the 5.7L Gen III HEMI engine:

• 2009–2024 Chrysler 300
• 2009–2023 Dodge Challenger
• 2009–2023 Dodge Charger
• 2009–2025 Dodge Durango
• 2009–2010 Dodge Ram 1500
• 2011–2024 Ram 1500
• 2009–2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Installation requires removal of the factory camshaft and installation of the included VVT limiter in the cam phaser. A specialized VVT limiter installation tool (BTR-VVT-Hemi-Tool) is required and must be purchased separately if not already owned. Upgraded valve springs and non-MDS lifters are mandatory to accommodate the increased valve lift and RPM capability. Proper engine tuning with attention to VVT calibration is essential to maximize the camshaft’s performance and reliability.
